Impossibility of ‘Essential’ Real-Time Garbage Collection in the General Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give an example of a computational problem for which no RAM (random access machine) can ensure a non-trivial garbage collection though a large amount of used memory can be in principle freed starting from some time moment. This example is of theoretical nature and means only that there can be no universal algorithm for ‘sufficiently good’ realtime garbage collection applicable in all situations.

Bounding Worst Case Garbage Collection Time for Embedded Real-Time Systems
Execution of programs with various data structures often requires dynamic memory management based on garbage collection for better productivity, robustness, and program integrity. In spite of its benefits, garbage collection has not been widely used in embedded real-time systems partly because it often causes unpredictable pause delay. Guaranteeing real-time operations with garbage collection a...
متن کاملReliable General Purpose Dynamic Memory Management for Real
Traditional dynamic memory management techniques for imperative programming languages are unsuitable for reliable real-time applications because their worst-case time and space requirements are insufficiently bounded. This is demonstrated by detailed measurements of several real-world workloads. A special hardware-assisted real-time garbage collection system has been designed to facilitate reli...
متن کاملNon-compacting Memory Allocation and Real-time Garbage Collection Dissertation Proposal
Garbage collection is the automatic reclamation of computer storage Knu73, Coh81, Wil92, Wil95]. While in many systems, programmers must explicitly reclaim heap memory at some point in their program by using a \free" or \dispose" statement, garbage collected systems free the programmer from this burden. In spite of its obvious attractiveness for many applications, garbage collection for real-ti...
متن کاملJoint scheduling of garbage collector and hard real-time tasks for embedded applications
Programs with complex data structures often require dynamic memory management based on automatic memory reclamation (garbage collection). A major problem in adopting garbage collection for embedded real-time systems is that it often causes unpredictable pauses and that, as a result of such delays, hard real-time tasks may miss their deadlines. In this paper, we propose a new real-time garbage c...
متن کاملRouting Vehicle of Urban Waste Collection Utilities GIS
Municipal solid waste collection is expensive and, in some cities, 46–85% of their whole waste management expenses are used for waste collection and transportation. Rapid urbanization and every day human actions generate a large amount of waste from residential, commercial, or industrial extents all over the world. Waste collection optimization can decrease the waste collection budget and envir...
